Just diagnosed

My daughter is 20 years old and was just diagnosed. Are there tests they should perform? The doctor just looked at it diagnosed her and gave her some cortisone shots and a topical. Do they test for other things that might be causing this? I want to make sure she has the best care any advice?

You may want to take a look at this that talks about tests: http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/hair-loss/hair-lo.... The National Alopecia Areata Foundation (NAAF) also has info and resources on their website. A second opinion from another doctor is another option to confirm the diagnosis and explore treatment options.
